adidas Superstar City Series: NYC Drop by Josh Rubin
adidas dropped all but 2 of the cities in the 35th Anniversary Superstar City Series today in NYC. The Wooster Street Originals shop received 100 pair each of New York, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Berlin and Paris. Apparently, Boston and London were held up at US Customs.
The DJ was spinning old school Hip Hop and they limited the number of people allowed in the store to maintain a civil vibe. Some collectors were lined up for over 3 hours in the 10ºF / -12ºC weather; I was there too, but a little later. After an hour and a half wait I was still able to get first choice sizes in Tokyo, Buenos Aires and Paris.
It's not clear when London and Boston will drop or whether there will be another launch event, line-up hoopla.
